all your settings are stored in the database (except for
~/.mythtv/mysql.txt that tells myth how to access the database.) If you
are running the backend as a diffrent user then the fronend you will
need .mythtv/mysql.txt for both users.
Since it looks like this is a new setup you can try to wipe the .mythtv
folder and rebuild it by running mythtv-setup for each user that uses myth
mv ~/.mythtv ~/mythtv-old
mythtv-setup
